I read this aloud to my 10yo daughter who loves wolves, and I plan to also read the other two in the series, but the book hasn’t aged well. A white woman researched wolves and the Native peoples of Alaska, and tried to write as if she truly understood being caught between worlds like Native children. We did learn a lot about wolves and wolf behavior, plus the weather of Northern Alaska, but it had uncomfortable undertones about Native culture.
